Wandering into the web
After breakfast, but before coffee, I went up the garden to see whether we have a couple of folding chairs in the kind of shed/cupboard thing that's on level 3. Our garden is cut into a steep hill. If you count our downstairs as level 0 then my studio is on level 1 and it opens out onto some steps up to level 2 (which I also call the "first lawn" even though, embarrassingly, it's astroturf)…

Coffee Mornings and "regrowing a living culture"
What does it mean to gather around "regrowing a living culture"? I've been using that phrase to talk about the monthly coffee mornings I'm doing in London and I thought it might be worth going back to where I picked the phrase up. Late in 2023, my friends Dougald and Anna ran a course with that title as part of their "school called HOME" but the phrase had been rolling around in our interactions…

I need to blog more. I need to write more, but I also need to release more and this is the best place I have for doing that. I caught myself giving someone feedback on their work which was really an expression of my frustration with not feeling productive myself. It's not enough to apologise to that person, I need to change my behaviour too – and that just means typing more often into a text…

The May 2025 instance of the Living Culture Coffee Morning
We did it again on Friday morning. Sorry if you wanted to come but didn’t see a reminder. It seems (to me) to be working, whatever it is and whatever it’s supposed to be for. I realised today for the first time explicitly that what I’m doing with the Friday “Living Culture Coffee Mornings” is most like calling an open space session to talk about “What are we doing to regrow a living culture?”…

Nick Booth (1965-2025)
I was going to write something on Facebook, but Nick was a blogger and so this belongs here. I heard this afternoon that my dear friend Nick Booth died yesterday after a fall at the weekend. It’s not right. It shouldn’t be like this. We ought to have been celebrating his 60th birthday next month. We should have continued to intermittently tramp around bits of South Birmingham together as we got…

Very first audioblog (20th April 1970)
This was just sitting waiting to be published for almost 55 years. Those who’ve heard my more recent (ie since 2004) podcasting will recognise the roots of my presenting style. As far as I can tell, it was recorded on the same day as the picture was taken. Script assistance by “Mummy”. Sound Engineer: “Daddy”. Special thanks to Mrs Kimberly for straightening my tie and my hair.

I’m on the train to London and trying out Wordland on my iPad. All seems good. The editor box is left-aligned rather than centred, but I can live with that – maybe it’s an update that I haven’t noticed because I haven’t logged out on my desktop machine yet 🙂 I’m doing another round of the Living Culture Coffee Mornings aka “Tuttle Soup for the Soul” this morning. It’s good practice in…

Ugh, the end of last week and the weekend were wiped out by norovirus. No more details necessary. I think there’s a long-running series that will emerge here called “I’m not retired but…” because although I’m still doing lots of interesting work, I also have started taking my Audit Commission pension which doesn’t even pay all the bills, but takes some of the pressure off. Yesterday’s nice…

When I was a kid, you'd see people who lived with paralysis or muscle-weakness as a result of contracting polio. The vaccine was first introduced in the UK in the mid-fifties and by the time I was born, at the end of 1964, we were all getting it on sugar cubes. So when I asked my mom what was wrong with that man's legs, she could explain and be reassuring that such a thing couldn't happen to me…

Another day, another new app. Today I saw that Flashes is available in the iOS app store. It is supposed to be to Bluesky what Insta is to Threads, kind of. But it doesn't have a separate timeline – so if I post a picture with the app using my main bsky account all of my existing followers will see it, but it will also show up in the app's firehose timelines. I tried setting up a new account…

Newsletter 25-02
Dear friends and neighbours near and far, prepare yourselves for the shock of a second newsletter before the end of January. Doodle of the week Some phone calls do this to me. Quote of the week “Boundaries are what we tell someone we will do, they don’t require the other person to do anything”. Dr Becky Kennedy talking about parent/child relationships in a way that is just as true for those…

microbloggage 2025-01-21
a reverse-chronological list of things I’ve posted today to lloyddavis.micro.blog – replies aren’t included 19:16 – : Saw the Bob Dylan movie. This may already be obvious to you, but I’d still rather be Pete Seeger. 10:33 – : “Never mind, change the subject, are you watching Martin Clunes?” This is an experiment in trying to pull together all the things that end up in all the places.
